Noob question on coffee stouts

[Joe Kool]

Greetings y'all. In the coffee stout recipes I've seen I don't see anything with coffee as an ingredient. How does the coffee flavor get into the beer and can you add some sort of coffee to it to increase the flavor? Thanks

I don't think I've ever seen a coffee stout recipe that doesn't call for coffee (or coffee beans) to be added at some point. It can be added at packaging as cold brewed or normally brewed coffee. Or whole or ground beans can be added at/near the end of fermentation (similar to dry hopping with hops).

Stouts (in general) may have some vaguely coffee-like flavors from roasted grains, but I wouldn't call those coffee stouts.
